Nigerian Afro-Pop Singer, Burna Boy has started his year with controversy as he calls his fellow Nigerians ‘Backward Unprogressive Fools’ and Nigerians are not taking it easy with Burna Boy. It all started from him (Burna Boy) calling out coachella for using a small font size to display his name on their bill for the Coachella festival 2019.

‘It is a fact that my own country ‘Nigeria’ is home to the largest number of Backward Unprogressive Fools. I will still fight for them because they are not mentally advanced enough to fight for themselves’.

This has caused a serious stir among Nigerians and they certainly aren’t finding it funny. Most are rather outraged that the singer comes to such despicable conclusion and justifies his stance all because of a mere font.

Man this can't be true, @burnaboy referered to Nigeria as a home of 'Backward unprogressive fools'? if this is true, then something has gone terribly wrong. To say this is shocking is an understatement 🙆 https://t.co/a11QqwmWfD

Okay, Now it’s beginning to seem like Burna boy just wants to trend. Because saying “Nigeria is the home to the largest number of backward unprogressive fools” was a really unnecessary thing for him to have said.

Burna Boy just called some Nigerians backward unprogressive fools & some people are angry, in a country where many people are doing everything for Buhari to be president for another 4 yrs, if that's not a country with many backward unprogressive fools, I don't know what it is.
